Medicare confusion

Does anyone have it figured out just how much Supplemental Insurance is needed when one reaches Medicare age. I am being bombarded with "information" and the costs for these supplemental plans vary from very expensive to very inexpensive --- is Supplemental Insurance really needed along with Medicare, or does the new Health Bill change things. I need help with navigating the system.

Health Insurance and Advocacy Program (HICAP) representatives often go to Senior Centers to assist with these decisions - if you call a local Center they would be able to tell you if/when they would come by.
